In case you haven't noticed, I absolutely love necklaces. Lately, I've found myself wanting to put on a statement necklace with just about every outfit. Whether your outfit needs a little spiffing up or you just want to add that extra glam effect, necklaces are a perfect addition. Needless to say, I was so excited when I saw Marionberry Style posted the trend of the month link-up for statement necklaces! Check out her blog to see how other lovely bloggers styled their statement necklaces!

So I may have become slightly obssessed with polka dots this season. When I saw this sweater I couldn't decide what color I liked best so I bought all three. Too much of a good thing? I think not! Sweaters like this one are my favorite pieces for this time of year because they can worn so many different ways - as seen here. I've always been a big fan of buying items in more than one color if they work well with your wardrobe or body type. If the shoe fits, buy it - right? :)

This outfit pretty much sums up my two favorite trends right now. Peplum styles can give anyone the cutest shape & polka dots are just so fun! I was so excited when I saw these pants at LOFT. Because I am petite (5'2" - so short, I know!) LOFT has always been a great resource for pants & skirts. Not to mention, they have great sales!

This cargo vest is quickly becoming one of my favorite items to wear while transitioning into fall. I've already been thinking of cute sweaters and boots I can wear with it as the weather gets cooler (stay tuned for those looks :). As much as I love summer, I am defnitely getting the fever for cooler weather!

I first saw this dress on Pinterest this summer & was instantly drawn to the beautiful color. I love anything that is mint & it's a color that has really been in this year! I wore this to a wedding we went to this past weekend. Paired with pink nail polish & lipstick, it makes for one of my most favorite color combinations :)

This is definitely one of the most comfortable dresses I have. It is so easy to just slip on, whether you are wearing it out shopping or throwing it on with a pair of heels for work. Don't you just love versatile pieces like that!

I'm definitely a skirt kind of girl, but it's been a while since I wore a black one. Something about them just made me feel too "officey". However, when I saw this one (and the price tag) at F21, I knew it could be worn lots of different ways. And I love how they added the pretty feminine lace to the hemline!

First off, please ignore the terrible wrinkles in the smack dab middle of my top! I was clearly in a rush before taking these and didn't even stop to notice how much it looked like I had just gotten out of bed. Moving on, these are one of the many printed shorts I purchased this summer & I absolutely love the colors in them! Over the past couple years I have been purchasing mostly solid colored chinos for their versatility, but realized this summer that my bottom half was looking rather dull. Luckily, ASOS came to the rescue. Hope everyone made it through Monday!

I hope everyone had a nice & relaxing weekend! We were finally able to get out to the lake for the first time this summer. This is what I wore for a wedding we attended. It is definitely one of my most favorite dresses! The bright color combination is what immediately drew me to it. It's perfect for so many different occasions and with all the colors, you have lots of options for shoes and accessories.
